Happy #NCBD and this week’s new all age comic books offer something for every reader. Let’s start with the price point reader and there are two great comic books that only cost $2.99, Looney Tunes and Batman 66’ Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, #2 (of 6) are both from DC Comics. They’re also fun comics with well established names, so it’s a great entry point for those reluctant readers.

In humor comics kids will want to check out Dreamworks Classics with Shrek and Madagascar, Regular Show #38, Mickey Mouse Shadow of Colossus trade paperback or the Sonic the Hedgehog trade paperback, Waves of Change.

Superhero has a nice Avengers title from Marvel Comics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures and a turtle title for advanced fans that retails for $28 that lists all of their villains. Older readers, 10 and up might want to check out Torchwood. This is a comic book based on the fabulous show that is also written by John Barrowman, who played Captain Jack in the series. Barrowman is also an accomplished writer and appearing at Dragon Con 2016 too.

In science fiction a trade paperback that we’re excited about is Bera the One Headed Troll. It’s from :01 First Second books and is the story about a troll that finds a human baby in the realm of the trolls. She doesn’t want to hurt the baby, but the same can’t be said for the other trolls. The art in the book from Eric Orchard looks great, is really creative and trollish, without being scary for younger kids to qualify as an all ages comic book, or graphic novel in this case.

Kids 9 and up that dig zombie tales will want to discover Ghoul Scouts Night of the Unliving Undead, #3. This is the story of a group of kids trying to figure out the mystery of a zombie outbreak in town. It’s kid friendly, rated E from Action Lab and is just the thing that’ll appease their Walking Dead curiosity.
